Wilson May Go Abroad to Meet Frank Burns
New York April 30 Kiddle weight champion Johnny Wilson plans a trip to Europe after all. Australian middleweight Frank Burns, who has impressed in England, seeks to box Wilson for a title. Burns previously knocked out Jimmy Clabby and Tommy Uren, and sails for Europe to find challengers. He drew Shooing Smith Davies in England but fought with a damaged right hand yet won easily using his left. Burns then challenged Ted Lewis at middleweight, while Carpentier's bout loomed as too risky. Fans wonder what Burns could do with both hands.
